A true undercounter profile
All seven model names have changed, increasing by one digit, this will aid to identify the manufacturing change to the US. Other than that, the icemakers remain largely unchanged.
All small KM icemakers produce individual crescent shape ice cubes, have exteriors constructed of stainless steel, are compliant with the American’s with Disabilities Act (ADA), and stand 39” tall with the included 6” legs. Before removing the legs for a true undercounter profile, check local health codes for additional installation requirements. Hoshizaki America also warranties the entire machine parts and labor for three years and the compressor for 5 years.
